I have it from a very good source that virtually all the people involved in Ron’s Iowa campaign, and who had worked for other candidates in previous straw polls, believe that Ron actually won, but the GOP establishment fixed the results to give it to the warmonger Bachmann. To the extend the media suspected this, they cheered.

BTW, the bulk of Bachmann’s support came from warmonger ministers from across Iowa, who bused their obedient congregants to Ames with orders to support the “Christian candidate.” They were automatons, in other words, not the thinking individuals who supported Ron.
